Abstract: Novel low-power or semiactive devices are developed for vibration suppression applications. By manipulating the structural stiffness, the resisting forces generated by the devices are quite large and independent of velocity. ...

Abstract: In this work an efficient dynamics algorithm is developed, which is applicable to a wide range of multibody systems, including underactuated systems, branched or tree-topology systems, robots, ...

Abstract: This paper addresses control of structural vibrations using semi-active actuators that are capable of manipulating stiffness and∕or producing variable stiffness. Usually vibration suppression is ...

Abstract: In this paper we examine a method to control the stepping motion of a paralyzed person suspended over a treadmill using a robot attached to the pelvis. A leg swing motion is created by ...
